5 STARS...PFFFT...THIS BOOKS NEEDS MORE THAN THAT...THIS WAS BEAUTIFULLY WOVEN TALE OF LOST FRIENDSHIPS, BROKEN HEARTS, AND THE LOSS OF INNOCENCE, AND THE JOURNEY TO FINDING YOUR WAY BACK HOME, EVEN WHERE THERE IS NO HOME TO GO BACK TO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE I CAN SAY THAT HASN'T ALREADY BEEN SAID ABOUT THIS AMAZING BOOK. THE FOLLOWING IS AN ARRAY OF IMAGES THAT REMIND ME OF THIS BOOK AND MY FAVORITE QUOTES.

Sins & Needles didn't do it for me, I'm afraid... It started boringly, then it got a little better though still not interesting enough for me. All in once it was pretty predictible with the ending being harsh. No hard feeling please :) ...more

Holy shit, I'm addicted. This book is about dark, damaged people. This is not a light, fluffy read. Sins has a darkness to it, a depth, and a bleakness to it that I have yet to see in any other NA book.

In S & N, no one is without flaws and without scars and I love that this book is gritty and raw and doesn't hold back punches. It's "real" and not OTT in the way that some books can be drama filled and angsty. The h is not ideal and she is not an innocent. She is fucked and what she does is fucke ...more

Easily, one of my FAVORITE of the year.

I might give 5 stars out... maybe not regularly but fair enough to say I'm sure people don't jump up on and grab soemthing just because I rated it highly. But this one, they should.

Fact is, I started this, thought it was struggling and moved on for about two weeks. I just didn't give it long enough. I fell in love, much the way John Green describes it, like falling asleep-- a little at first, and then all of a sudden. That's this. You don't even realize how ...more

4.5 stars

I loved the name of this book!

What an unexpected world of hurt and action wrapped up in one story. It caught me completely unaware and was close to perfection. The drama, heat, action , and betrayal compounded with the then and now story telling was a winning combination.

I can't wait for book two. To say this ends with a cliffhanger is a major understatement. I am already second guessing the characters and plots for the sequel and it won't come out until the summer. ...more

I thought this was a great story about second chances and redemption. I instantly fell in love with Camden and even though I understood her, I hoped Ellie got what was coming to her for all the crap she had pulled and continued to pull. I felt for both characters, but Ellie was in serious need of a rude awakening. Even though it ended on a cliffhanger I was satisfied with the ending bc I felt like it needed to happen. I will be anxiously awaiting the sequel!!

5 Stars. I am trying my best to understand the emotions, trying to put into words how I feel after finishing Sins and Needles. I am most definitely stunned, very much overwhelmed with this beautifully written novel. Dark, with twists and turns, and so much character development. I am going back for more from author Karina Halle.
